Project phasing & Construction sequence

The Project will develop approximately 138 MW of enclosed research computing infrastructure in phases.

Phase I consists of a 50-MW building, followed by two additional 50-MW buildings. Each building is anticipated to require 12–14 months from Notice to Proceed through commissioning. This sequential approach:

  • Aligns capacity increases with infrastructure readiness

  • Minimizes construction disturbance through steady, controlled build-out

  • Supports a consistent pipeline of skilled regional trade employment

milestones

legacy plant retirement

COMPLETE

  • Cayuga Power Plant officially retired as part of New York’s coal phase-out, paving the way for sustainable redevelopment.

TeraWulf Secures Long-Term Ground Lease at Cayuga Site

COMPLETE

  • TeraWulf enters into an 80-year ground lease for 183 acres at the former Cayuga site to expand its high-performance computing infrastructure.

Permitting & Site Plan Review

IN PROGRESS

  • Completing site plan reviews, zoning reviews, and local stakeholder engagement for adaptive reuse of the site.

Initial Campus Construction

UPCOMING

  • Site preparation, electrical upgrades, and first data campus building foundations will begin. The legacy Cayuga coal plant stack is to be taken down in a controlled demolition, creating a visibly cleaner horizon from the lake.

Commissioning & Operational Launch

UPCOMING

  • First high-performance computing tenants will begin operations, marking full activation of the Cayuga Data Campus.
